A lock-up clutch control device controls a lock-up clutch provided in a
torque converter mounted between an engine and a transmission of a
vehicle. The lock-up clutch control device switches between a converter
state and a lock-up state by controlling a differential pressure supplied
to the lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch control device has a controller
and a differential pressure generator for generating the differential
pressure in response to a differential pressure command value. The
controller calculates a first differential pressure command value which
decreases at a predetermined rate, after the vehicle speed becomes a
first predetermined speed; sets the differential pressure command value
to a second differential pressure command value, before the vehicle speed
becomes a second predetermined speed; and sets the differential pressure
command value to a value at which the lock-up clutch is immediately
released, when the vehicle speed becomes the second predetermined speed.
